The City of Cottondale broke ground on a new police station, safe room, and fire house renovation project on Aug. 10.
DHM is serving as the city’s grant administrator, Donofro Architects provided architectural design services, and CPWG Contractors will lead construction.
“Projects like this demonstrate what can be accomplished when local leadership, state funding, and dedicated project partners work together toward a common goal,” said Destinee Wiggins, project manager with DHM. “It has been an honor to work alongside the City of Cottondale to help bring this project to fruition, and we look forward to celebrating this exciting milestone with the community.”
The project includes construction of a FEMA-compliant community safe room that will provide refuge during severe weather events. Renovations to the existing fire house and parking lot improvements are included.
“We are excited to take this important step toward improving public safety for the citizens of Cottondale,” said Mayor James Elmore. “This project represents more than new buildings. It represents our commitment to protecting our community today while preparing for the future.
“We are grateful to FloridaCommerce and all of our project partners who have helped make this vision a reality.
